-The state of the church is sncb
that it is not anticipated that there
are any questions of unusual import
ance to be disposed of. ihere is no
agitation on hand such as wonld
cause a radical division of sentiment,
and the prospects are that the con
vention will devote Itself to those
matters that pertain to the church's
maintenance and development, and
the subject of missions.
Tb. Opening Meeting.
With Dr. White on the platform at
last night's opening session were Dr
J. A. Thompson, president of Tarkio
college, and Kev. J. A. Reed, u. v..
of New York City. The choir of the
Bock Island United Fresbvterian
church sang a hymn. Dr. Reed read
a scripture lesson, there was another
hymn by the choir, and Dr. Thomp
son led in prayer. The choir and
congregation! sang the Slat psalm
and then lie v. James White, u. D
the retiring moderator, delivered his
annual sermon. His text was from
Mioah 3:8:
But TrulT I am Full of Power bv the Snirit
Holy men of old, said the preacher
spake as they were moved bv the
Holy Ghost. All scripture Is given
by the inspiration of God. The
prophet Micah had not only the
spirit of prophecy, but the inbreath
ing of spiritual power that enabled
him to declare God's controversy
witn siniui men ana reveal uts juag
ments against transgression and sin
To this prophet was assigned the
doty of definitely recordirg the
birthplace oi the Redeemer, and
after he bad rebuked the sins of his
people and boldly vindicated the
claims of trnth and righteousness
after the Holy Spirit had revealed to
mm so plainly tee great savior oi
the world and the dawn of better
days, he rests in the submissive
faith, expressed in his own beautiful
words: "I will look unto tne Lord
I will wait for the God of mv sal
vation; my God will hear me:" The
minister hld that the text should
be the formula of the experience of
ever humble child of God in the
present dispensation, and especially
of every muister of the goopel. The
power and grace of the Holy Spirit
were dwelt upon aa coming irom
faith, and hence to the believer and
especially the ministry of the church
comes this fullness of power by the
spirit of the Lord. The preacher
took up at length the more promt-
neat e.emente oi propnewcai ana
ministerial power from a subjective
and practical point of view, holding
these essential elements to be good
character, a sanctified intellectual
culture In the hand of the Holy
Spirit, familiar and faithful use of
the word of God, faitli and heart
power. He urged the standing' by
the old bible in the ministry. "Let
Iurprescnhe word. All human lit
erature mav pass away, but the
word of the Lord endareth forever."
Brethren," said the learned di
vine, 'let ne emphasize tne iact mat
this is the administration of the
Spirit. Let us recognise his abiding
palpable presence In the me oi minis
ter and people, and hie leadership
in - the great work of the church.
Then we shall have the 'good char
acter, -the sanctified culture,' famil
iar and true views of the divine
word,' 'the corquerlng -faith.' and
the heart power,1 with tne accom
panying devotional spirit, and hon
est consecration, that will carry our
church through her finished work to
her reward and crown."
Dr. White then offered prayer.
after which he declared the assembly
constituted. The prinoipal clerk.
Rev. William J. Reid. of New York,
was called to the platform, where
upon Dr. W. H. Vincent, of Detroit,
moved adjournment until this morn
ing.
Then Rev. H. C. Marshall, pastor of
the Rock Island United Presbyterian
church, arose and explained that the
Tri-City Ministerial union had dele
gated one of its members to welcome

the union. Then he conducted Rev.
C. O." McCulloch, pastor of the First
M. js. church, to the platform, and
presented . him to the moderator,
ho in tnrn introduced ' him
to the convention. Dr. McCulloch,
in offering his greetings, said he wss
the bearer oi tidings on behalf of
the ministers of three cities, making
reference in this connection to both
Davenport and Moline, as well as
Rock Island, a community with 100,-
000 sonls, with fifty churches of
Protestant faith, presided over by as
many ministers, and representing a
membership of 1. 000. He extended
words of welcome on behalf of the
Christian fraternity, greeted the vis.

OQirSUDT AFFAIR.
Colored Woman, and Sweet
U ! heart Arrested.
KR. COORE SETS A TRAP.
Ostensibly Called to Chicago
' on Business.
But He
Soon Returns
the Police.
With
Mrs. William Moon (colored) and
John K. Stader, her white . sweet
heart, were arrested at S o'clock this
morning at the former's home at the
toot of Thirtieth street, ineamst
was caused by William Moore, the
woman's husoana. ne is employed
at the Rock Island depot aa porter.
He has been suspicious that all has
not been right in his household for
some time, so ne began aoing a
little detective worn, ne sent nis
wife, who ia a young ana ratner at
tractive mulatto, to Chicago a few
meeka aero for a visit. She returned
home yesterday. He searched her
trunk, and found a number of letters
which further strengtnenea ma sus
picion of his wife's infidelity.
Ha conceived a plan to catch her.
i.tt nioht he went home with a bo-
irna telegram calling him to Chioago
u witnpD in a railroad case. Moore
told hia wife that he woold have to
leave en the midnight train. He bid
her irond-bve and started away. He
only went as far as Moline He had
reason to believe that his wife wonld
take advantage of his absence." So
he went to police headquarters and
related his story. Capt. Eokard and
Officer Hanna went up with the pa
trol wagon. Mrs. Moore was reclin
ing on- a sofa when the officers en
tered. She whipped out a revolver
on Capt- Eckard and threatened to
annihilate him for invading her
home. She was finally induced to
band over,, the revolver, which con
tained three loads. The house was
searched and Stader was found PP
stairs. The pair and Mrs. Moore s
little child were taken to the p lice
station in the patrol wagon and
locked up. This morning Moore
swote out a state warrant charging
his wife and Stader with disorderly
conduct.; , The letters found in Mrs.
Moore's trnnk were turned over to
Chief Pender. In some of them Mrs
Moore, whose given name ia Carrie,
is addressed as Hortense. One writ
ten by her is as follows:
My Own Sweet Kid: .Tour ever
welcfcme and loving letter came to
band this morning. 1 his leaves me
well and happj happy because in a
few hours I will be with my own
sweet kid. Ton ask me it I love you.
Yes. dear, I love you with an inten
sity that knows no bennds. I could
give np lite and hope and heaven it-
sell far more easily than l could give
you up. ithout you life would be
a torture, a dreary, dark wilderness,
from the very edge of which I draw
back and shrink with terror. I conld
not lire if I lost you forever. Now
can you donbt that I love you? 1
will tell yon all about that ride, dear,
when I come home. Ton
know I am jealous, dear, and I would
not like to know you had spared one
little kiss to another. 1 wonder
what L. and W. have to talk about?
I can not allow my darling to attend
those tough dances when I return.
XhankS for that money. I needed it
badly. - I am sorry to have remained
away from my darling so long. I
shall never do it again. Next time
I will not go so far away. Be very
carefnl with this letter, as I do not
feel just right about it. Tear np as
soon as read. Don't forget. Hop-
mg to see yon soon, 1 remain your
own. HoRTEKsn."
And Be to Her.
Another missive written to her
reals:
.."My Own Sweet Kid: I received
your letter, and am glad to hear
from my sweetheart. I am feeling
somewhat better than I did. I go to
the house every night, but there is
no fun for me. They have a game
there; so jest as soon as I get in the
house I feel so tired I lay down and
go to sleep If I had one of
those sweet kisses I would feel much
better. 1 leei as tnougn A. A not a
friend on earth I look at
your pictures in the album. I kiss
every one of them y0a
had better wait and get yonr wheel
when you get home well,
my own sweet kid. good bye, good
bye, good bye; your own aweet kid
J. K. S."
Moore cays it is all off between
. today as to who should take the
; chU(J. He would not agree to her
j taking him. nor wonld she consent
to her husband raisin? the child.
They finally agreed that Mrs. Brooks,
of Omaha, Mrs. Moore's mother.
